DesignAgency’s scope for the $100-million reimagination of The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami comprises interior design of all public spaces and three food and drink destinations. Our sister agency, StudioDA, handled branding design for four food and drink venues. Inspired by Key Biscayne's lush landscapes and mid-century glamour, our design expresses the brand's renowned luxury in fresh new ways. Interiors feature soft natural tones and textures, abundant greenery, and clean-lined furniture that establish a breezy but sophisticated atmosphere. Throughout the project, showstopping design gestures, from grand statement lighting to intricate millwork, help write the next chapter in The Ritz-Carlton’s legacy of luxury.
A soaring, light-filled lobby frames the Atlantic through triple-story glass, while the revived Rum Bar anchors a space that stays lively without feeling crowded.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa
Our design for the spa at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne is inspired by the surrounding landscape of mangroves and limestone. The Ritz-Carlton Spa takes its guests on a journey of tranquility and rejuvenation, enhanced by a calming palette of stone, oak, limewashed walls and terracotta accents.
Luma
Located inside The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Luma is a classic Italian dining destination with an interior palette of natural woods, pale blues, olive greens and soft whites, and materials and textures inspired by the coastal landscape. This all-day restaurant is bright, elegant and refreshing.
Rum Bar
Rum Bar is The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne’s elevated and intimate lobby bar. The interior is enveloped in moody hues and timeless tropical motifs with an anchoring rippled-edge marble bar and a variety of cozy seating options. Rum Bar offers a glamorous destination for guests to relax, socialize and have a drink.
Paralía
Overlooking the shoreline, Paralía is The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne’s beachside Aegean restaurant. The design draws inspiration from Key Biscayne’s lush landscape featuring a botanical mural, sculptural woven lampshades, natural woods and patterned tiles for an immersive seaside dining experience.
Dune Beach Bar
Dune Beach Bar at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne provides guest with an effortless sun-soaked destination for beachside drinks and relaxation. The space blends natural textures, a neutral colour palette and warm brown accents for a stylish, elevated and breezy escape.

For The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne’s artisanal wood-fire pizza food truck, Stefano’s, DesignAgency created a custom seating area. The design includes terracotta breeze blocks, a warm colour palette, and natural textures, creating a relaxed and thoughtfully designed poolside pizzeria.
